Lone Star College to host open houses for ALL

HOUSTON (July 25, 2011) – Lone Star College System is hosting open houses beginning August 4 for its Academy for Lifelong Learning fall programs.

The Academy for Lifelong Learning is a membership community that offers free and low-cost classes, events and activities for active adults age 50 and older.

ALL participants are able to explore a wide variety of special interest, professional growth and development, and personal enrichment courses. The courses, which are taught mostly by professionals from the community, are short-term, non-credit, cost effective and last anywhere from a few hours to several weeks.

A small annual membership fee – that varies by college – allows members to register for ALL classes at their local Lone Star College campus. Some classes may require nominal event, supply or entrance fees.

Open houses will be held at each of the Lone Star Colleges and at one center. Below are the ALL open house dates by location, along with the ALL personnel contact information:
